Privacy Policy for Oxbridge Notes

If this isn't clear enough or you require any more information about our
privacy policy, please feel free to contact customer support, requesting that your enquiry be directed towards our data
privacy officer.

The privacy of our visitors is of importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information received and collected by Oxbridge Notes, and how it is used.

Info We Collect About You

We want to be clear about what sorts of information we gather about you.
Broadly speaking, we collect info needed to help us fulfil our accounting
requirements to the government (your address, your country as calculated from
your IP address), information to help us determine appropriate special offers
(e.g. we guess what subject you study and what year you are in based on your
browsing history), information to provide our tutoring service (without your
address and subject, it would be impossible to pair you), information to
facilitate customer service (e.g. by comparing IP addresses of accounts, we can
determine when a customer has accidentially created a second account without
their downloads due to a typo), information to combat fraud (e.g. we monitor how
often files were downloaded, and from what IP addresses, in order to build cases
for fighting credit card fraud), and information to help us determine
statistical trends with our business (e.g. what pages you viewed, as seen through Google
Analytics).

Cookies

Like every other website that has log in / log out functionality, we use cookies to maintain user sessions.

Log Files and Google Analytics

Like many other web sites, we make use of log files and Google Analytics. The information inside both includes IP addresses, geographic data, types of browsers, Internet Service Providers (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. We use these primarily to debug our codebase, improve our website's speed, and analyse broad trends as to inform management in making decisions about the business's future strategy.

Paypal

As with most other websites using Paypal, Paypal automatically provides us with your real name and shipping address. We use this information for mandatory taxation and accounting purposes.

Remarketing

We let third party advertising companies track whenever you have visited Oxbridge Notes and its affiliated websites. We also use identifying information (such as your email address) to create custom advertising lists. Both of these sources of information are used to redisplay advertisements to you on other websites, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and websites affiliated with the aforementioned.

Conversion Tracking

We use conversion tracking to track whenever you have done certain commercially valuable actions on our website, chiefly when you have made a purchase. This conversion information is later used by us to figure out what advertising campaigns were effective in triggering this sale. Conversion tracking is done in association with a third party advertising provider (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Google), who also have access to the data.

Facebook Connect

We allow users to log in to our website with their Facebook account so as to speed up authentication and offer a smoother user experience. Facebook provides a pop-up box detailing exactly what information it will provide to Oxbridge Notes. At time of writing we store only your email address, which we use to send transactional messages and to allow you to log in without Facebook in future. You may opt out of Facebook Connect (and the giving of the above information) by choosing to log in with an email and password combination instead.

Enquiries

We save all enquires made via either via our main contact form or via the queries sent to individual authors. We do this for business analysis, monitoring author responsiveness to consumer requests, and policing transactions that are against our terms of services.

Debugging

When there is a technical bug with a user account, our staff are empowered to log in with your account and view your account from that perspective. Your password is not leaked to our staff and is stored in a way impossible for them to read.

Multi-device tracking

We use Google Analytics universal User-ID to associate engagement data from different devices and multiple sessions.
